Allegaeon is now streaming their new single "Of Beasts And Worms," complete with an entire first section loaded with organs and clean vocals. It's an interesting shift for an otherwise technical band, and one that segues perfectly into a heavier second half.
"This newest single 'Of Beasts and Worms' is about finding a place of inner quiet, a safe haven to explore your thoughts and escape from the anxieties of your life," said the band. "This lyrical intention is paired with a depiction of disparity and tiredness with the world around you and the stressors that contribute to the deafening silence of the mundane.
"In the music video, we showcase a more physical – and graphic – display of this thought process where the escape from the daily grind is manifested into a willing self-sacrifice. Though a dramatization, this concept of sacrifice to find your own personal peace can be applied to something less tangible and played an important role in my own process while writing the lyrics for Damnum. Thank you for watching and listening, we hope you enjoy it."
Damnum is available for pre-order here.
